I would like to create a REPEAT LOAD case whose constituent load cases are themselves REPEAT LOAD cases. Is this allowed? ?
You can do this if you have STAAD.Pro version 2002 or later. An example of this is shown below.LOADING 1SELFWEIGHT Y -1.0LOAD 2REPEAT LOAD1 1.0JOINT LOAD4 5 FY -15. ; 11 FY -35.LOAD 3REPEAT LOAD2 1.0MEMB LOAD8 TO 13 UNI Y -0.9 ; 6 UNI GY -1.2LOAD 4SELFWEIGHT Y -1.0JOINT LOAD4 5 FY -15. ; 11 FY -35.MEMB LOAD8 TO 13 UNI Y -0.9 ; 6 UNI GY -1.2PERF ANALYLOAD LIST 3 4PRINT *** RESFINISHIn the above example, load case 3 repeats load case 2, which in turn repeats load case 1.
